Members of the association and the federation told Anand that the recently issued public notice by the SCB was misleading. The SCB in the notice mentioned that six roads in SCB jurisdiction will be closed permanently for public use and asked people for suggestions and objections within 21 days from the date of publication.

Following this, the members said the roads mentioned in the notice were already closed for years and alleged that, the SCB and LMA did not obey the orders of the Ministry of Defence and Army Head Quarters issued on May 2018 regarding the reopening of roads.
